The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014, Couleur Kenzo Violet by Jean Jacques is a vibrant and playful fragrance that captures the essence of fruity sweetness with a hint of violet's softness. The composition opens with blueberry and red currant, creating a bright and juicy freshness before transitioning into the heart where marmalade and black currant add depth and warmth. This is balanced by the powdery notes of violet, which lend an elegant touch to the overall scent.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best close to skin, so apply directly onto pulse points. It's light and fresh, making it ideal for daytime wear; the fruity notes will last through lunch but may fade by evening.
